Las Vegas Municipal Judge Susan Roger Plans 2025 Retirement, City Seeks Interim Replacement

Judge Susan Roger, who has served as a Las Vegas Municipal Court judge since 2011, plans to resign effective November 4, 2025, well before her current term ends. Having started her legal career in 2000 at the Clark County District Attorney's Office, Roger has been presiding over misdemeanor cases in Department 2 and was recently re-elected for a six-year term in 2024. The Las Vegas City Council will begin the process to select a replacement, with discussions starting at the October 15 meeting and a selection deadline of December 4. Interested candidates must be Las Vegas residents and members of the Nevada Bar in good standing, with the interim judge serving until the next general election in 2026. Roger is married to David Roger, former Clark County District Attorney, and is recognized for her dedication to public service over 25 years. The city has encouraged applications for the interim position, which offers an annual salary of about $220,000.
